Default Donation to SoCal's Fire Victim ?

Anybody know where can we donate stuff to SoCal's Fire Victim ? I've just closed down our clothing store business and thinking to donate all this clothes & accessories to those people who might need it.

Thanks

I know that Quailcom stadium was/is taking donations. There are a lot of people at that location who would probably appreciate clothing.

The Red Cross was saying that they weren't taking donations @ El Toro and El Modena. They wanted monetary donations instead. I wonder if the salvation army is helping out at any of the evacuation centers.

The Red Cross is also providing shelter and clothing for people that lost homes.

Check out their website for any direct links for donations.

VEry kind gesture of you Masboy

I can't see why not. People will need clothings since nothing is left if their whole house burned down.

pingu : yeah it's all brand new. seems like i have to donate it through GoodWill....

Donation of Goods (thru Red Cross) – The American Red Cross does not have the capacity to accept or collect, and does not actively solicit individual in-kind donations (such as clothes, shoes, toys, etc) in times of disaster. Direct financial donations to the Red Cross are the best way to assist victims of disaster. (See below for Donation of Goods options with other agencies.)

Donation of Goods (as of 10-25-07):

Goodwill (check your phone book for your nearest location.) When your donation is designated for fire victims, Goodwill issues vouchers to Red Cross. These vouchers are then distributed through Red Cross disaster service centers to individuals affected by the fires.
thanks GS3Tek

I wouldn't reccommend going to Qualcomm. They actually have a surplus of supplies. Plus, most of the evacuees from ther have went home. There are only about 500-1000 people currently left there. Not sure what they're going to do with all the extra suppiles. But the lady who they interviewed (one of the volunteers) speculated that they might go to some of the other evacuation centers across the county.
